While it's not always the solution it really helps more often than not. Today has been a really rough day for him. Daddy is home which throws off our schedule and makes it very hard for him to get into a rhythm. I need to work harder on keeping our schedule when Daddy is home.
After nap time, which was cut short by phone calls verifying our appointments on Tuesday for another evaluation, we were having a hard time getting back into routine. After dinner we went outside and spent time on the trampoline.
He dressed himself and put on the superhero cape I made for him (and his guests for his second birthday party) and some trainers (I have a rule now that he can't go outside without underwear on) and I just happened to grab my camera.
I got some amazing shots. Every one of them reminded me that even though my son is 'special' it doesn't define him. He's beautiful, happy, smart and full of life.
<3 love him!!! this is all new to you, but you'll get it! you are a great mama! the schedule thing sucks, especially if you're not one to stick to schedules yourself (like me) but i always always always give about 1/2 hour warning before a change...so "spur of the moment" isn't really that anymore...even if it's for something fun like a trip to get an ice cream or to go swimming...1/2 hour seems the minimum for Matty to get his mind wrapped around the idea of a change.
